I agree, but I would also say that the reason your trap speed is so high is because the use of a piggyback computer so you can fine tune what the cars needs as far as air/fuel ratio. That's huge with any forced induction car right? And 4mph is a lot in 1/4 mile racing! I would also like to know how we can get our hands on that setup.

 

Nice! Good job on squeezing out 500hp out of your engine... More horsepower!

I spent some time on the dyno today dialing in the car for nitrous( for this sunday if the weather permits) and found out the car does not like it's timing pulled! It is capable of pulling it on it's on and I made more power with stock timing and a 75 shot than I did with a bigger shot and timing pulled, I made about 450hp + 475 tq to the wheels with stock timing and a little more lt fuel trim. We shall see this sunday, but they are calling for 30% showers in my area. But I am going to go and hope the weather is o.k., If so way deep into the 11's we come!

 

That is bad ***!
Damn near 600ft/lb at the crank with a 20% drivetrain loss. If a stock z06 can run 10.9s with a low DA, then I don't see why your car couldn't do the same. Just pray for good weather and a low DA.

 

Did you make it to the track today or did the weather spoil all your fun?

 

No it rained all day! I'm hoping for this weekend, but the forecast around here is rain and more rain all week.

 

That's too bad I'm still pulling for you to be the first in the 11's. Have to get someone there with video though.

 

The car is dialed in just waiting on the weather, and my son has taped about every run I have ever ran so we will definately have a video to post, I'm just waiting for the 11 second run before i post up one. Hopefully this weekend if this stinking rain will move on, + I have to go to a new track that I've never been to "Capitol Raceway", My normal track" MIR" is hosting the IHRA Pro Am Nationals and you have to have a membership to run during that event, which I don't have.

 

I should make it up to MIR this summer Maybe I can see you get a run in while i am there.

 

NHRA membership is like $65 bucks, and you get to at least get some qualifying runs on the best preparation your track will get. Check into the IHRA, I don't think its much different. You would run in Stock or Super Stock class. Heck it really don't matter, just the chance to run on a professionally race prepped track is worth the $150 entrance fee. I guarantee you won't find a better prepared track than at one of these big events.

hey I just noticed you have the 181mm pulley in your sig? I thought you had the 178? If you had the 181 at the track then I can see how you ran the 12.0@117.

 

I agree but I waited too long to get my membership and it starts friday I am going to try to run at another track on sunday, but there is a chance of rain around here so my fingers are crossed The car is ready for 11's easy! With all these mods going on some one is going to break 11 soon.

 

With your mods, without a doubt you are into the 11's......EASILY!!! I wanted to be first, but I think you will beat me to it......Haha.

 

Going to a test and tune tommorow night, I'll let you know if I hit that allmighty 11 or not and how deep if I do!

 

ah, sounds like your going to beat me there, we were planning on going back sunday for another shot at it

good luck and get some video, i bet if you spray out of the hole ya can lift the front tires!

 

Went to a test and tune tonight at capitol raceway in crofton md., what a doo doo track + no nitrous again, something went wrong with tune and everytime I sprayed, the engine started shutting down cylinders? I've gotta get it figured out it worked great on the dyno! Anyway made three decent motor passes, best 12.10 @116. ( with 2 degrees timing pulled and 7%fuel added) 80 degrees outside, 150ft above sea level.

 

Ran a 11.98 @ 103 mph tonight at Maryland International Raceway, I had to shut her down at about the 900 ft mark, too much boost blew my spark out. Car was popping and carrying on, I am going to change my spark plugs and gap to around .025 + go 2 steps colder and try it again next weekend! The car next to me was a 68ish big block nova and I was all over him before my spark blew out. He ran 10.80 @ 125.

 

Congrats to be the first in the 11's. Post that slip, I bet you had a 1.5 or 1.6 60' time.

 

Actually my 60 ft time was 1.80. I was spinning like s***, the nova was a 1.55 but I caught him right away, then we were even for a couple of seconds then my stuff fell apart

 

That was with nitrous or all motor? That's moving if you caught a 10.80 car at mid track or farther down. Wow your pulling some serious hp out of that motor.
